This is a PCI device that implements a transport for virtio.  It allows virtio

Didn't see support for dma.

Not sure what you're expecting there.  Using dma_ops in virtio_ring?

 I think that with Amit's pvdma patches you
can support dma-capable devices as well without too much fuss.

What is the use case you're thinking of? A semi-paravirt driver that does dma directly to a device?
